Family in Cape Elizabeth are seeking a nanny/household manager to help keep things running smoothly.  They have had two long term nannies the past almost six years.   Mom and dad both work long days, often leaving the home by 6 or 7am so they are seeking a nanny to help with those busy mornings and getting the kids off to school as well as afternoon school pick up help.   They have two children a boy who is 7 and girl who is 5.5.   Their kids are happy and loving, their son loves being creative, STEM, arts and crafts and building things where their daughter loves her school friends, playing make believe, and playing with dolls.  They are very close to each other and love spending tome together.   As a family they love going to the beach in most weather, skiing, are animal lovers, believe in setting boundaries for their children, promote consistency, a sense of routine and prediction for them.  They try not to raise their voices and will get down on their level when speaking with them. 

They need help 3 mornings/week getting them dressed, ready, prepare and feed breakfast, let the dogs out, pack lunches, check backpacks, and out the door ready for school- nanny can take family car or if preferred parents will install carseats in the nanny car.  Return from school to help clean up after breakfast and walk dogs if not already done, some household duties, laundry, children’s bed linens, vacuum, tidy children’s rooms, run errands. For afternoon - bring kids home, settle in, unpack school bags, and get their dinner ready, prepare meals, feed dogs.   They are unsure if they will have the kids ride the bus or nanny drive them to/from school for the 2025-2026 school year.  Household duties could include caring for their dog,  dishes, laundry, organizing and tidying of kids rooms & common spaces, and minor cleaning.  Summer schedule might change slightly with pick ups on some days being Noon and other days being 4pm so summer hours will slightly increase to 24-28 hours/week/  Their ideal nanny/household manager will be extremely dependable, someone willing to take on household manager duties, very loving, light hearted, trustworthy, gentle, kind, safe, excited to share their own interests with the kids, proactive, and an animal lover. 

Of note, they are currently in a rental house approximately a mile away from their home in Cape Elizabeth.  Their home is under construction for a full remodel and they are on schedule (so far) to move back home at the end of October. Therefore, there will be a lot of packing and unpacking this year until they are settled back home.  It can be a super fun time to help the children decorate and get settled in the new rooms.  It is also important for any potential nanny to understand that the transition to a rental (a different ‘home’) and the transition to a new school are huge changes for little minds.  The children are doing really well but certainly have their moments of ‘big feelings’  Change is hard for young children and they have had a lot of change in the past year.  We are looking forward to establishing a relationship with a nanny who is sympathetic to the children’s needs during large transitions and with whom the children feel is like a family member to all of us.  

    • Schedule: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays 6am-10am and then again 2/3pm-6pm, occasionally 7pm for 24 hours/week.  Summer camp schedule will be mostly the same except some days pick up would be at Noon, making the hours 24-28 hours/week.

Therefore, in the summer, Mondays will be full days with their daughter while doing drop off and pick up to and from camp for their son.
